Description
This car phone holder comes as a pair: two universal magnetic mounts that stick to a dashboard or any flat panel and take the phone on and off one-handed, with an adjustable viewing angle, in gold, black, silver or pink for $15.99.
Most households run two cars and one phone mount, which means the mount lives in whichever car was used last and the other trip is spent with a phone in a cupholder. A pair fixes that for less than the price of most single mounts. Magnetic holders also solve the specific annoyance of arriving somewhere with one hand full: the phone lifts straight off rather than needing a clamp released first.

Why Magnetic Over a Clamp
-
One-handed on and off - the reason people switch to magnetic, because a clamp needs two hands and a moment you do not always have.
-
Two in the pack - the second car is covered, or you put one on the dash and one on a flat panel for a different viewing angle.
-
Nothing to adjust for phone size - a magnet does not care whether the phone is small or a plus-size handset in a case.
-
Adjustable angle - set it once for your seating position and it stays there.
-
Four colours - it can match an interior instead of being an obvious black lump on the dash.
How Strong Is the Magnetic Hold?
Magnetic mounts of this type hold a phone securely for normal driving. Two things weaken the hold in practice: a very thick or heavy protective case putting distance between the magnet and the metal plate, and a plate that has not been positioned centrally on the phone. Both are fixable, and both are worth checking before a long drive.
Does a Magnet Harm a Phone?
Modern smartphones are not damaged by the magnets used in car mounts. What magnets can interfere with is a compass sensor, which some navigation apps use for orientation, and older magnetic-stripe cards if you keep them in a wallet case. Keep cards out of the phone case and you will not notice anything.
Where Does the Metal Plate Go?
Magnetic mounts work against a thin metal plate on the back of the phone or inside the case. Position it centrally so the phone balances evenly on the mount, and keep it clear of the wireless charging coil if your phone charges wirelessly, or place the plate inside the case rather than on the phone itself.
Who Buys These
Two-car households, which is where the pack of two earns its keep. Rideshare and delivery drivers who want a spare in the glovebox rather than a dead trip if one fails. Families fitting out a teenager's first car. People who have used a clamp mount and got tired of two-handed operation at a set of lights.
Pair It With
If you would rather clamp than magnetise, our clip-on dashboard car phone holder grips the dash lip mechanically instead. Our Automotive range covers the chargers, organisers and shades that go in the same car, and Tech & Mobile Accessories has the cables and grips for the phone itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many holders do I get?
Two, in the colour you select.
Which colours are available?
Gold, black, silver and pink.
Will it fit my phone?
It is a universal magnetic mount, so it suits most phones regardless of size.
Are metal plates included?
Check the pack contents on arrival. Magnetic mounts require a metal plate on or in the phone case to work.
Can I put it somewhere other than the dashboard?
Yes. It sticks to any flat panel, so many people use a console or a trim surface instead.
Does it charge the phone?
No, it is a holder only.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, including regional and remote addresses.
Fast Australian Shipping
We dispatch from Australia, so these holders reach Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin quickly, and we post to regional and remote addresses as well. Orders placed on a business day are picked the same day wherever stock allows.
Product photography is indicative and phones shown are not included. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand. Road rules on driver view obstruction and mobile phone use are set by each Australian state and territory: position the mount where it obscures nothing and set navigation before you drive.
